About

I’m a passionate product designer with 11+ years of experience in designing engaging and meaningful products for our users and stakeholders. System thinking came naturally to me and had helped in bringing a fresh perspective to the design process. I always have tried to pursue the discipline with distinct empathy for the end-user, have witnessed the scenarios at the bottom of the pyramid and somewhat attuned to this end of the product food chain. My experience ranges from working with startups to corporates and have played multiple UX roles extending from IC to people manager. I believed in the collaborative design process and partnered with PM, sale, marketing, care and engineering teams to solve complex scenarios/business use-cases. I have rich experience working with various platforms, e.g., desktop, web & mobile with an understanding of challenges & benefits in each media. Soft skills: User-centred design, design thinking and customer advocacy, rapid prototyping & experimentation, information architecture, benchmarking, competitors responsive, customer journey, task analysis, wireframes, visual design, design system approach, cross-functional collaboration, usability testing, stakeholder management and design local- build global approach.
